Big Jims Bbq - San Rafael

The one star is because there was nothing to see or eat from Big Jim's at the supposed address. Also, (1) the last review here is over a year old and (2) their website mentions only classes and catering.

Jim is one of the Best BBQ Masters in the Bay Area. If you want a wonderful caterer that will impress your quests with an amazing meal Jim is your man. He is kind, personal and delivers. Thank you Jim

Was at the Marin County Fair on July 4th and ordered the beef brisket and pulled pork sandwiches came out to $42 dollars. Sandwiches were dry, had no taste (bland) and was loaded with coleslaw. It needed seasoning. I ended up getting charged twice with my credit card, so I paid in cash; I was told that the card payment didn 't go through even after I showed the cashier my Chase app had both charges as pending. The chef even double checked saying it 's paid. After I paid in cash, she responded that 's not how we run our business. I requested the charges be cancelled after paying in cash, and she took a photo of my driver 's license and asked for my phone number to call me later assuring me after that her expert would clear the charges. I never got the call and now I have to dispute both posted charges tomorrow with Chase. Headache/bad experience/bad business.

Amazing BBQ and exceptional side dishes await you on 4th st sidewalk tables and pickup dining at Big Jim's.Smokey goodness in every bite of brisket, richly sauced ribs and perfectly pulled pork. Full bar, specialty cocktails and craft beers to boot to wet your whistle can be had in a flash of cash or card.I had a tub of brisket gluten free, sans the bun and some delish mac attack n cheese to pair with my Lagunitas in bottle or can to wash it down.Attentive and delightful service is a nice plus during this covid time we live in. Bag yourself some sandos or meals to go and make it a happy day at Big Jim's again n again!

Tonight my family ate a yummy bbq dinner prepared by this awesome restaurant! Thank you for providing teachers and their families with a free meal. This was a wonderful gesture from our local fire agency. Being appreciated during these difficult times is extra special.
